So, Tattlelife.com vs PTWM
I don’t usually comment on other people’s blogs or
affairs because let’s face it- my blog isn’t all that big and is only
interesting to the people that know me.
The people that do know me know that my biggest hatred is
bullying. Anyone that bully’s is a cunt. Plain as. I was bullied horribly in
high school and it really shaped how I viewed myself for a long time and made
me miserable as fuck. Obvs I’ve grown up and got some lady balls now so don’t
give a flying fuck about anyone’s opinions but my loved ones. Not everyone is
like that, not everyone has a platform to fight back with or a way to
articulate a defence. So it’s down to the people who can to knock that shit on
the head rather than buy into it for the sake of entertainment at someone
else’s expense.
This week it all blew up between tattlelife (sun
newspaper style gossip bitchfest) and Part Time Working Mummy- a blogger I’ve
been lucky enough to chat with on many occasions and someone who gives a huge
amount of her time to helping others less fortunate.
The basis of the drama was some anonymous person claimed
to have proof of misuse of a go fund me account. The discussion then
degenerated into mudslinging and what amounted to bullying. One particularly
delightful soul wished an unborn baby dead. Yeah...so 40 pages on and still no
proof of financial chicanery but a lot of personal details being published
about minor children and their life/ routines etc.
I can’t help myself so I posted the above. And got
promptly banned.
I’m pretty proud to be honest, who wants to be part of
such an unhealthy group or so unhappy with yourself you need to try and destroy
a family? I mean I’ve known a few girls like that in real life and my advice is
the same to them as the keyboard warriors.
Treat others how you want to be treated. If you can’t be
cute, stay mute. And don’t say anonymously what you won’t say to someone’s
face.
The mean girls I’ve known in real life have always seemed
to get their comeuppance- karma is like that. I suspect the same rules apply
online too.
